the episode where Frasier tries to bone that actress under the stage at a kid's play then rises up onto the stage on a giant bed dressed as a baby was one of the best instances of television comedy i've ever seen

My favorite episode is the one where Martin accidentally ate Niles' pot brownie. Then Niles ate a normal brownie thinking it was a pot brownie. Martin had the genius idea to dip BBQ potato chips in chocolate pudding. Then he thought Eddie was talking to him.

It's literally my favorite show. If the world had more Frasiers and Niles in it, I would hate fewer people.

Anyone who doesn't think Frasier is the greatest show ever is contributing to the bolshevisation of America.

Frasier was called the smartest show on television but when you go back and watch it there's nothing intelligent at all. The references are easy to understand if you didn't drop out of high school and the jokes and plots aren't much more advanced or clever than something like Threes Company. It doesn't help that Frasier is a psychopathic manchild.

There are way fewer cringe-worthy "it was a different time back then" moments in Frasier than any other sitcom from the era.

I watched Frasier for the first time ever in my late 20's (marathonning it while packing boxes for a move) and I was surprised that I'd never given the show a proper chance. it's incredibly snappy with a dry wit, well-telegraphed, and brutally sarcastic. The self-aware joke of the entire show is that both the Crane brothers are complete hypocrites who do the exact opposite of their own advice, and then they get confused as to why they're always bungling up their chances with the ladies.

Like a fine wine, it holds up incredibly well. It's easily within the top 5 sitcoms of all time.

I got about halfway through making a game ROM from scratch for the NES that was a platformer based on Frasier as a satire of all the weird tie-in games of that era that end up having a vague relationship with their source material at best. But then I figured nobody else would find the concept as amusing as I did so I stopped working on it.

It's weird that I'm the only one I've ever heard of who liked Frasier but hated Cheers.

Cheers sucked rear end, hard. Every character is either bland or grating. The jokes suck. Ted Danson's face is punchable as gently caress, and I swear to god even just remembering that frizzy Italian bitch's voice makes me want to kill myself and everyone around me. The jokes sucked, the writing required you to invest yourself in boring, garbage people whom it is impossible to genuinely root for. The only good thing that came out of Cheers was Frasier, and even his character was boring and horrible in Cheers. I loving HATE CHEERS

I'm on board with this. I was that weird kid who is really into old timey sitcoms (I loving loved M*A*S*H* as a kid) but cheers... Ugh it just felt so grating and forced.

I wonder what ever happened to Bulldog on the show?

He was in pretty much every episode for a few season then just disappeared with no explanation that I can remember.

I think he still showed up but like season 6 onwards they were hardly ever in the studio so I guess there wasn't much for him to do. Like even Roz showed up less for a little bit iirc but she at least had stuff to do outside the studio whereas nobody actually hung out with Bulldog

I mean it was pretty obvious that Frasier and Niles were Larry David-style misanthropes and you were supposed to laugh at how clueless they are despite being all sophisticated

I liked the one where they got banned from their favorite store for complaining about the price of dog food or whatever

Also Brian Cox as Daphne's father was great, always fun to hear him speak in his natural accent

e: o yah Robbie Coltrane as Daphne's brother was hilarious too

IIRC, he ended up getting fired or laid off, then comes back in a later season as an intern.

One of the best Bulldog moments was when he kept pranking Frasier, so Frasier comes up with this elaborate scheme by having a bunch of actors playing zombies in the basement where Bulldog works. Only when Bulldog gets scares, he pulls out a gun and everybody thinks he's killed the actors.

Edit: he didn't come back as an intern, he was a stock boy or something.
